A collective approach to integration
Launched in early 2024, the AIF programme (Accueil, Intégration et Formation - welcome, integration and training) brings together all functions, departments and sites at Laïta to offer employees a structured journey from the time they join the organisation. The aim is to help new recruits to achieve autonomy in their roles, encourage them to integrate with their teams, encourage skills development throughout their careers and build up the company’s appeal as an employer.
AIF: an entire programme!

«The Accueil Intégration Formation (AIF - Integration and Training Programme) is a truly cross-company project, supported by Laïta’ Management Committee. It involves all jobs, departments, sites and activities. New recruits want to feel welcome and expected. They need reference points to acquire the skills they need to be autonomous in their jobs and then, if they so wish, to progress. For its part, Laïta is determined to enhance its attractiveness, renew and retain its workforce. With this in mind, a group of employees, from different sites and professions have shared their best practices to harmonise them and create common tools for welcoming their future colleagues. They have co-constructed the foundations of the AIF programme, which is evolving in line with feedback and the needs of our businesses. For example, since January 2024, we have been running an induction day to enable new recruits to discover Laïta, its products and the site where they work with a fun approach. The welcome to the company has also been formalised, with a welcome booklet for the site and the HR booklet, which contains all the information you need to understand the working environment and the rights and obligations of employees. »
Cross-functional, people-centred support
« A pilot phase was launched in 2025 to test a guide that managers and their teams can use to prepare for the arrival of any new employee in their department. At the same time, a working group (WG) is looking into ways of harmonising induction and training for shift workers, of whom there are 1,600 at Laïta in around fifty activities. The various crosscompany WGs set up can rely on the support of the three coordinators (one per basin) who devote all of their working hours to implementing and development of the programme. AIF is a real asset for us all! Sharing practice, feedback and the improvement of common tools have created have created really strong human relations internally. Eventually, all Laïta employees will be included in this initiative.»
Sharing best practice in welcoming, integrating and training new employees Laïta has created strong human relations across business activities, departments and sites.
